Viewers, prepare your TiVos: There's a sure-to-be shambolic new reality show in the Hoffing.

A few weeks ago, reports surfaced that David Hasselhoff might be bringing his trainwreck life to the airwaves (spurred on by his daughter's since-rescinded twitter claim that the show was a done deal). And while no air date has been set yet, the reality project appears to be inching its way toward, well, reality.

"We are in discussions about the possibility of a series, but nothing official at this time," a rep for A&E tells E! News.

Well, somebody's gotta replace those Gosselins.

Teenage Hoffspring Hayley and Taylor, no strangers to candid-camera footage, are expected to appear alongside their dad, a detail seemingly corroborated by Hayley earlier this month.

"The Hasselhoffs signed the deal with A&E…Get readdyy for it," she tweeted in a post that has since been removed from her page.

It should surprise no one that ex-wife Pamela Bach will not be appearing in the show. Apparently, you don't hassle an ex-Hoff, either.

America's Got Talent judge David Hasselhoff clearly has a talent...for bad publicity, if nothing else. According to reports, the Baywatch bruiser and popular-in-Germany crooner had too much to drink and slugged the doctor at his London hotel after returning from Simon Cowell's birthday bash.

The semireliable New York Post and the oft-dubious U.K. Sun report that Hasselhoff was actually trying to slug his assistant for calling the doctor. According to a source close to the actor, "David was furious and lashed out at him—but he mistakenly hit the doctor."

David Hasselhoff is doing fine. But, as usual, the media's a bit on the sick side.

According to his attorney, the Hoff's trip to the hospital yesterday was a minor incident and was blown out of proportion after the fact.

"He is totally normal," lawyer Mel Goldsman told E! News Monday. "He was released almost immediately after he arrived at the hospital."

The America's Got Talent judge felt dizzy at his home Sunday afternoon and was taken to a nearby hospital by ambulance, prompting speculation that he had been nipping at the cooking sherry.

In fact, he was good to go after about an hour, Goldsman said. A rep for Hasselhoff explained that the actor was experiencing a side effect from taking the antinausea drug Antivert and Antabuse, which is used by recovering alcoholics to create acute sensitivity to booze.

David Hasselhoff did not—repeat—did not fall off the wagon.

That's the word from Team Hoff today, hours after the ex-Baywatcher was rushed by ambulance to a hospital.

A rep for Hasselhoff tells E! News that the 57-year-old actor was briefly hospitalized Sunday afternoon after a bout of dizziness due to a combination of prescription medication. Specifically, Hasselhoff "felt his equilibrium was off" after taking the antinausea drug Antivert and Antabuse, a medication for recovering alcoholics.

The America's Got Talent arbiter could not reach his personal doctor, the rep said, so paramedics were called to his suburban Los Angeles home. No word on his current condition.

This isn't the first time the former Knight Rider star has had to outrun allegations of alcohol abuse.

Trouble at the Hoff's house.

Paramedics responded to a 911 call just before 3:30 p.m. Sunday at David Hasselhoff's digs in Encino, Calif.

"We sent an ambulance and a person was transported to a local hospital," says Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Deparment. He declined to divulge the identity of the person or the reason for the hospitalization, citing privacy concerns. 

The 57-year-old America's Got Talent judge has not shied away from discussing his struggles with alcoholism. He was hospitalized for alcohol poisoning back in October 2007, just months after his daughter infamously videotaped him on the bathroom floor in the throes of a bender.

"Unfortunately, I did have a brief relapse, but part of recovery is relapse," the erstwhile Baywatcher said in a statement upon release of that tape. "I am a recovering alcoholic."

Get all the Hoff's scoop here.

Wait, that wasn't the finale? They brought out the Hoff and everything!

No, there are still a couple more weeks to this America's Got Talent thing, and five lucky acts (more on that later) were informed Wednesday that they will be moving on to the final round in Las Vegas, which airs Sept. 15.

But while elimination nights are always exciting, and Kermit and Miss Piggy also showed up to warble "Don't Go Breaking My Heart," it was host Nick Cannon, looking lankier than ever in his semifinals tuxedo, who really had to turn it on tonight.

"To me, he's one of the coolest men to ever step foot on television," he gushed as he introduced a "real American icon" to the stage...

If David Hasselhoff thinks he can come on and charm the women of The View with his inanities, well, maybe he can.

But that doesn't mean E!'s own Chelsea Handler is going to sit there and let the Hoff take credit for tearing down the Berlin Wall.

• Britain's Got Talent introduces you to Susan Boyle. America's Got Talent brings you this (and sends it to the next round). No wonder it's not the same worldwide phenomenon.

• We want to be besties with Anne Hathaway more than ever before. Apparently, she likes to play stylist and lends out her clothes.

• Michelle Pfeiffer may not want you to call her a cougar, but she'd be happy to be Catwoman one more time.

• Ted Danson doesn't eat fish, and it has nothing to do with lessons learned from that whole Jeremy Piven debacle.

• Dear Paris Hilton: We knew you'd find the perfect BFF in Dubai, a "huge" one that wears lots of accessories, has humps to match yours and spits when you deem things "not hot." Congrats. Love, Rise 'n' Shine

Sorry, Jennifer Aniston, we don't know where you put your keys. They're not in the Big Picture gallery.
